Stewards of a Kenyan paradise, the Andersson family, descendants of the famed Baron Blixen, invite you to Kinondo Kwetu, their "home away from home." Immerse yourself in a personalized coastal experience on secluded Galu Beach, south of Diani. Bask in tranquility – the nearest hotel is a serene 2 kilometers away. Unwind on plush sunbeds, marvel at the endless ocean vista, or dip your toes in the cool, inviting waters. Kinondo Kwetu's philosophy is simple: pure relaxation embraced by the beach's natural beauty.

Nestled on a private 16-acre beachfront south of Diani, Kinondo Kwetu is a haven distanced from neighbors by rocky cliffs and endless sands. This "Kaya" area, protected by the National Museum, is fringed by sacred forests and hallowed grounds. Lush, shaded gardens surround a variety of accommodations, all mere steps from the pristine white sand. Cater to up to 53 guests or enjoy exclusive use of the entire property or specific sections. Beyond sunbathing and Indian Ocean swims, Kinondo Kwetu ignites your spirit with a range of activities. From kitesurfing, deep-sea fishing, and scuba diving to game drives in the nearby Shimba Hills, horseback riding, and yoga, unforgettable adventures await.
